Poker and stoicism, for you, is there any connection between one and the other?

Leave your opinion.

Stoicism as a way to achieve poker success. Living according to this philosophy does not mean just hiding your emotions or not experiencing them at all and facing adversity steadfastly. The point is not to fight emotions, because in the end it will turn out to be negative.The game of poker seems very easy, and recreational players often exalt their own strengths and participate in games in which they simply have no place.Sometimes feelings in poker can be useful, but they can also be completely wrong because emotions can be unreliable at best and destructive at worst.You have power over your mind - not outside of events. Realize this and you will find strength.

Well this is an interesting question...., I think poker is a game that can be naturally frustrating for a lot of people,

the mental game of poker is a huge part of it, so I'd say even basic stoic philosophy such as focusing on what you

can control, having your own goals, not letting your emotions control you are all great for poker👍

Stoicism and online poker share a strong relationship because both require emotional control, rational thinking, and focus on what can be controlled rather than external outcomes. Stoicism teaches players to detach from the emotional highs and lows of wins and losses, treating both as part of the process rather than as personal validation or failure. In online poker, bad beats, variance, and unexpected results are inevitable, and stoic principles help players remain calm, avoid tilting, and make logical decisions. By embracing stoicism, players learn to focus on improving their skills, controlling their reactions, and accepting the unpredictability of poker without frustration or overconfidence.

Very well done comment, I see that you understand the Stoic philosophy very well, certainly maintaining evolution and commitment to the best decisions, it is impossible for you not to have long-term success in poker.

Good answer.
